Now Is Your Time.

No doubt RIDDLEBERGER, CAMERON,
LEWIS, Yosr, WIcKHAM, BRADY, and all
the rest Of the anti-Mahone Republicans
have reflected upon the suggestion made
in the following article from the Lynch
burg Virginian-nam that to give
MALONE complimentary vote as the
Republican nominee for the Uuited
States Senate would be to endorse him
and place him before the whole country,
North and South, as the head and leader
and dictator of the Republican party of
Virginia. We quote:
"There will be a determined move
ment among the Republican leaders at
the approaching session of the Legisla-
ture to unload Malone finally and for
ever. None are more fully aware of this
than Malone himself Ills fight will be
to retain his position at the head OF the
party and his consequent hold upon its
organization. A complimentary vote for
him for the United States seEatorship by
the Republican members Of the General
Assembly would be equivalent to vote
of confidence, and would leave a CORE
spending impression upon the country.
The opponents OF Malone in the ranks
of the party realize this, and they will
combine to defeat a complimentary vote
in his favor. Some other prominent Re
publican will doubtless be put up for this
empty honor in the caucus, and If ne Sc
cures the nomination Mahones influence
will be dead-letteI from that very mo-
ment. He will be as completely shelved
as his Putty-colored bust in the State
Library"

SEES How IT Is.-The New York Ere
ming Post is an anti-RANDA1L, anti Pro
lection paper. But it knows when to
come in out Of the rain-as witness the
following
THE usual talk about reading Mr..
Randall out of the party and humillia-
ting him if he will not cooperate to Sc
cure the passage of tariff bill satisfac-
tory to Mr.. Carlisle and the Ways and
Means Committee of the next House is
renewed as a matter of practical politics.
Mr.. Randall. however much the great
majority of his party associates may dis
like his opinions on the tariff, will not be
read out of his party. The reason is a
very obvious one. Unless the Demo
Gratis wish TO make shipwreck of their
administration of the House at the very
outset of this important Congress, they
cannot adopt any policy the purpose Of
which will be to put an indignity upon a
representative of the position of Mr. Ran
dali. They have not votes enough to
do il"

BY what right or authority does Viii
liam Malone, late United States sena-
tor from Virginia and whose term Of Office
expired on the Sd Of March last, still con
tinue to make use of the "iranking priyi-
lege"? We saw a public document re-
celved at the Chase City post-otlice one
day the present week with the frank y
of the late Senator upon it. We think
the gentleman has now no more right to
transmit books or other articles through
the mails free than any other private
citizen. Who can answer our ques-
ton ?-Ciase city Clipper.
The ranking privilege of a congress
man in either house expires on the 1st of
December next after his term in Con-
gress expires.

Meeting OF Asylum superintendent
Personal Notes.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
WILLIAMSBURG, VA, Nov. 26, 1887.
Under q Joint resolution of the last
Legislature, requiring the superintend-
ents of the insane asylums OF the State
10 meet at each asylum, and TO inyesti-
gate and compare tho general manage
ment and condition of said institutions,
and also discuss and report upon the
advisability Of making some exclusive
provision for the ilcurable insane,
Superintendent Balksdale of the
Central and Conrad OF the Western
Asylum met here this week and COM
pleted their report, which will be laid
before the next Legislature. While the
character of their report is unknown 1t
is understood they favor the laying of
Of the State in districts and providing
for the establishment Of separate wards
in each institution for the incurables.
DR.. Harvey Black, of the Southwestern
Asylum, formerly of this institution, was
unable to attend on account OF sickness.
The visiting superintendent made
thorough inspection of the Eastern
Asylum, which is under the efficient
management of DR.. Moncure and an able
corps Of assistants. 1t was pronounced
to be not only the equal of any in the
State, but of any in this country. Several
of our leading citizens were invited 10y
DR.. Moncure to meet the visitors at a
dinner given Thanksgiving Day, and last
night the asylum officials were hand
somely entertained by DR.. Henley, the
second assistant physician.
Our farmers are shipping large guam
titles of peanuts to the Norfolk market.
The quality thus far is somewhat below
the average, and prices realized are not
very encouraging.
Mr.. William B. Lamb, OF the Central
railroad, of Georgia, is here on visit to
his family.
The weather signalsare displayed regu
larry now from the post-office building,
and will no doubt be OF much service to
our people.
James Lee, colored lunatic, was ar
rested this morning and taken to jail
until he can be gotten in the colored
asylum.

The Riehmnnd nisnateh.

The Dispatch has long held promi-
nence in this State as newspaper and
gives evidence of its prosperity by its
purchase OF an improved press and the
general makeup Of the paper. It has
done good service to the State by its
steadfass support Of the Democratic
party and its oft-repeated exposures OF
the many pretensions and falsehoods dis
seminated by Malone. We regard it as
one Of the most valuable OF our exchanges
and wish it great success. Bedford

MADISON COUNTY.
Punished for Disturbing Religious
worship-The Regulators.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispstch.l
MADISON G. H., Va, Nov. %, 'S7.
Yesterday, at the regular term Of the
County Court, William Weekly was
tried for disturbing religious worship in
Piedmont Mission on the 10th of Au-
gust last. The jury found him guilty
and fined him $50. His counsel moved
that the verdict be set aside-frst, be-
cause it was the province Of the Court
and not of the jury to assess the fine ;
and secondly, because the law required,
in case of conviction, both fine and i'm
prisonment. This morning, after hear
ing argument on these points, the
Court refused Ito set aside the verdict,
aud Weekly, being unable to pay the
fine, was committed TO jail.
Last night the regulators visited the
house of Alfred Thornton (colored)
again, and whipped his son, who made
his escape few weeks ago, when Thorn
ton and his wife were beaten.
Mr.. Beauregard Tanner qualified to-
day as guardian OF Miss Maggie Kirtley.
Then proceeding to the clerks Office, he
obtained a license TO marry her. This
was rather q novel occurrence.

Does any sane man believe that the
pcople OF these United States cannotcom-

Here we have a grand country OF mag
niGcent distances. with rich planea, fer
tile valleys, end mountains bursting open
with precions ores, interpreted in every
direction with nayigable streams, grand
inland seas. and shores washed on the
one side by the Atlantic and on the other
by the Pacific. We rate ourselves the
first powcrupon the earth. People come
TO this favored spot, with It's salubuous
climate, from al nations; and yet our
industries must be protected 1t is an
insult to American manhood to say that
we cannot compete with other nations at
home or abroad. And more than this,
it is not in accord with the higher state
of civilization and enlightenment to
which We should come, nor are we living
up to that great rule which should make

"fraud." Himself. the pioneer OF
fraud in elections in Virginia, and man
who has done more to debauch voters
and corrupt the ballot-box than any other
ten men in the State Would that he
had conscience like Judas Iscariot.
Rockiaqham Register: This is a
country of law and order. Our people
love their form Of government, and will
suffer many evils in its administration
before they give themselves over to fol-
low the cry Of "No government "
"Disorder !" ANY other sentiment would
be utterly destructive of our social fab
ric. Anarchy must bo crushed in this
country. The hanging in Chicago is a
decisive lesson, and We hope that the
necessity may not again arise, but If it
does we say let the lesson be repeated.

Milton Advertiser: The demand for
the abolition of the tobacco tax has be-
come so general and imperative that the
best-informed politicians express the be-
lief that bill repeating it will be taken
up and passed as soon as Congress as
sembles. All the tobacco sections are
united in their demand for its removal,
and it is thought that its repeal will be
of much advantage to the growers Of the
weed.
